Last year, the charity helped to recycle over 10 tonnes of Christmas trees. This year they want to double this. Corporate partnership fundraiser, Laura McWha, explained more: “We were amazed to hear that last year we recycled 10.9 tonnes of trees from our Treecycling scheme and raised £6,000 for the hospice. “This year we are hoping to double this so we have opened up even more postcode collection areas and have even more volunteers on hand ready to go. “We are keen to make sure anyone with a real Christmas tree who lives in the postcode areas we are visiting, registers for their collection as soon as possible to ensure we can collect their tree this January.” Volunteers from Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Santander, Dains and Virgin Media are collecting trees in vans on loan from Sandicliffe. WARD Recycling will be assisting with skips. Maple Tree Care have also joined the scheme this year as an extra set of wheels during the week and they will be chipping trees as they go. Treetops services include Support and Information, Wellbeing Space, Hospice at Home nurses and Therapeutic Services including counselling, art therapy and complementary therapy.Even more postcode collection areas
